New Delhi, National Center for Cold-Chain Development (NCCD) is revisiting the technical standards and minimum guidelines for cold-chain components to be implemented by all central and state government bodies setting up cold-chain facilities across the country. Will serve as a road-map for Ashish Fotedar said on Wednesday.
He was referring to the initiative taken by NCCD, which comes under the administrative control of the Agriculture Ministry.
Apart from the guidelines, NCCD is developing a mobile application to digitize data related to cold chain components. This is expected to increase capacity utilization, reduce fuel costs and reduce carbon footprint.The application will also collect relevant logistics data for policy making and analysis, Fotedar said at the FICCI conference.
Surendra Ahirwar, Joint Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, stressed that the coal chain sector in India, a vital component of the logistics ecosystem, is going to witness significant growth and innovation. coming year.
He expressed hope that the increase in public expenditure would be matched by increased investment by the private sector in infrastructure development.
“There has been an increase in public expenditure and investment in infrastructure development, which is growing at more than 10 per cent annually and this time we have a huge capital expenditure of Rs 11 lakh crore allocated for infrastructure development ... We hope that happens." This would be a form of increased private investment in infrastructure development, purchase and adoption of efficient equipment or transportation vehicles for the cold chain sector,'' he said.Furthermore, he also mentioned the National Logistics Policy launched in 2022, which comprehensively addresses various aspects of the logistics sector, including cold chain.
Amit Kumar, Committee-Co-Chair, FICCI Committee on Logistics, stressed the importance of developing sustainable infrastructure and adopting smart technologies to optimize energy usage and reduce environmental impact.
Kumar said, “We stand at a critical juncture where technology proliferation, policy initiatives and market demand present unique opportunities for the cold chain sector. By keeping sustainability at the forefront we can reduce environmental impact, improve economic viability maintain and strengthen food security."
On this occasion, the FICCI-Grant Thornton India Report on "Cold Chain Dynamics Mapping India's Logistics Transformation" was also released.The Knowledge Report highlights India's dynamic food processing industry, emphasizing the critical role of the cold chain sector in view of challenges such as lack of infrastructure and high costs.
